Travel to Montreal Biodome

The building that became the Montreal Biodome was originally constructed in 1973 for the Montreal Olympic games as an area for track cycling and judo events known as a velodrome. The building was converted into a zoo and nature museum in 1992. The Biodome is separated into four areas, each representing an ecosystem in the western hemisphere. The area are: the Tropical Forest, the Laurentian Forest, the Saint Lawrence Marine Ecosystem, and a polar area.
